Ok, I tried several installations, but the question about utc settings is not there. Not on normal installation, neither on expert installation. So I was fooled by my mind. I don't know, when it has disappeared. But, I believe, that hwclock interpretation as utc is unix/linux standard, so doing so without question would be fine. Breaking that standard should not happen without user notification. No matter whether in standard or expert mode. So I would appreciate a lot a message like "The installer detected a windows installation. It is recommended to change hwclock to local settings. Would you like to change hwclock settings to local mode?" - and then its up to the taste of the user. For me its the same question like the root account. As there is no professional ix-system without root account - its natural to have it on debian systems. Only systems like ubuntu consider the user as too stupid to give him a root account. So the habbit of silently break the standards may be ok for other linux systems, but not for debian. Therefor I vote for the utc-question before changing /etc/default/rcS to local. kind regards Gero -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
